breakups
When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.
Stalking Your Ex
I'm almost positive everyone has stalked a lover at some point in their life and if you haven't I give props to you for having such strong will power. My friends and I make an adventure out of it, we plan it out in detail although it never goes as we planned it still ends up quite fun.

Struck by Lightening
I met my soulmate one miserable night at a bar. His nickname was Thor and he’d always walk around calling himself the God of Thunder. I wasn’t attracted to him, but he made me laugh and our personalities matched perfectly. He became my best friend after that night. We were always going on walks, getting drunk on the weekends, and we became extremely close by sharing all of our innermost thoughts and feelings. We spoke a lot through music. We kept no secrets. Our connection was loud to everybody everywhere we went. It was a platonic friendship for a year. And then one day, I really noticed him. And it changed everything. We fell in love. We’re both a little older, I’m in my late 20’s and he’s in his early 30’s. Neither of us has ever been in love before. And then I learned about a half truth he had kept from me. He had a girl he’d been dating on the side for years, and I had known about her presence but I didn’t know how long she’d been there or how important she was to him. She was a safe blanket to him. He had no passion for her, but she would never leave him no matter how awful he was to her. He not only had freedom, but he had the knowledge that she was so obsessed with him that she would never abandon him. I tolerated letting him keep her for longer than I’d like to admit, thinking he’d get over his fear because he knew I was the opposite of safe. But he wouldn’t. And it broke my heart over and over and over again. I ended it with him when I’d finally had enough, and I know I’ll never have that same connection with anyone else. Our story is not repeatable. One day, I made a tattoo appointment. And all I had asked for was a very cliche small heart with a lightening bolt going through it. My tattoo artist was really into abstract and he told me afterwards that he has some psychic abilities. Sounds strange, I know. But he created that piece without any stencils. Didn’t know why I was getting it. Didn’t know anything about my life. He was literally winging it and I just trusted him. It came out messy, because love is always messy. There are musical notes in that tattoo, like I said before, we spoke to each other through music. A second heart can also be seen coming out of the ruin. This tattoo symbolizes heartbreak and pain. And it symbolizes that even through all the chaos and tragedy, love is always still there.

Life After You
My life before you was good. I had my freedom. I had my goals and ambitions and dreams. I didn’t have to answer to anyone for anything. My life before you was good. However, my life before you lacked something. I wanted a partner to share life with. I wanted someone I could confide in and talk to. I wanted to feel wanted. This is where you came along.

This Woman Who I Loved
I’ve had trouble letting go of love; of the love I’ve felt which I shouldn’t have felt. Of the longing which kept throbbing inside my chest after every other piece of my heart had been broken. I longed for the woman who scarred the most intimate chambers of my individual soul, and I longed for her while she did it, and I longed for her while she walked away.

A Tattoo to Cover the Pain
My friends would always ask me “ Brittany why are you wearing a long sleeves its 80 out?” and my reply would always be “ Oh you know me always cold” and quickly change the conversation. Little did even my best of friends know that I was hiding a long history of abuse that they would never understand the depth of and that I would never admit to.

Narcissistic Love
Have you ever been so angry, you scared yourself? That the anger that filled you felt so inhuman, even you didn't know what would happen next? I pray you never meet the person who can bring you to that level. A level so deep, you can haunt your own dreams with it. It's like an evil awakening of a superpower you didn't know you had; a capability that only the very deepest, seemingly inaccessible part of you, even knew existed.

How to Stay in Love Forever, Alone
Until Death do I Part I met my soulmate when I was was 23. It was the night Princess Diana died, just so you can pinpoint the day. My best friend was going to uni with him and she had already decided he was perfect for me. The first time I saw him, it was just a view of his back, clothed in a turtleneck and lovely overcoat, and without seeing his face, I was mesmerized and turned to my friend and said I wanted to marry him. We were playing pool a short while later when he came over and his face just proved my earlier statement to me. Virtually the first thing he ever heard me say was in response to someone saying that Diana had been in an accident, and I groaned and rolled my eyes and said great, now we’re going to hear about Diana’s road to recovery for months. No, the guy said, she’s dead. Oh, was all I could say, while my soulmate is just staring at my callousness.
